27. Jib Kidder

This week’s guest is Sean Schuster-Craig, who performs under the moniker Jib Kidder. Sean describes his music as “ADHD Psychedelia.” He grew up in the south and is currently based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Jib Kidder first made a splash when his song “Windowdipper” was featured on the TV show “So You Think You Can Dance.” Since then, he’s primarily made sample-based music and incorporated that into his singer-songwriter collage style. We spoke on his process and influences, fruit fly surgery, comic books, poetry, burgers, and his forthcoming album called “Jump The Gun,” my favorite album of 2020, which you can hear some sneak previews of on today’s show!
